Then, Ye Luo smiled, "Don’t worry, I have my own plan!"

After speaking, he pulled the Third Princess’s hand and walked into the tent.

The Third Princess symbolically resisted a bit but let him lead her.

In the distance, the captain and a few team members were observing Ye Luo’s direction through something similar to a telescope.

"It’s damnable, he’s actually involved with the Third Princess, no wonder he’s so arrogant!" the captain squinted his eyes.

"Captain, should we still proceed with our plan?" a young team member beside him asked.

"Of course, even if he’s with the Third Princess, they’re secretly together. When the Patrol Envoy arrives, that guy won’t know what hit him, and once our plan is implemented, he won’t last until the Patrol Envoy arrives; he’ll be executed by the Emissary!" the captain said with a gloomy face.

Technically, Ye Luo had given him a bottle of Essence of the Spirit Pond, so he shouldn’t hate him this much, but every time Ye Luo puts on that annoying face, it irritates him incredibly.

Also, he felt Ye Luo must have hidden treasures. This time, he just wanted to catch Ye Luo’s weak spot, and if Ye Luo remained unyielding, he could only hand him over to the Emissary for execution.

"But Captain, if those pests damage the Gold Silk Wood, the Emissary won’t spare us either!" the team member said worriedly.

In fact, this was also a concern for the captain.

"Don’t worry, I have my ways with the Emissary. It’s not our first time dealing with the Emissary; a few Gold Silk Wood won’t cause us any punishment!" the captain said, squinting his eyes.

"Alright, Captain. I’ll release those pests now!"

At this point, Ye Luo and the Third Princess had returned to the tent. Of course, Ye Luo wasn’t going to do anything inappropriate with her.

Through these days of interaction, the Third Princess had come to understand Ye Luo’s nature. He just talked whimsically, but in reality, he wouldn’t even touch a finger of hers.

Therefore, once back, she continued her cultivation, as she still relied on absorbing resources to withstand the harsh environment.

Though Ye Luo closed his eyes, his Divine Sense had already spread out.

Despite the environment hindering the spread of Divine Sense, Ye Luo’s Divine Sense was far too powerful, allowing him to clearly grasp the surrounding situation.

Moreover, the previous captain and team members observing him had been detected, yet he didn’t reveal it, understanding the captain was likely planning against him.

However, Ye Luo wasn’t a good-natured person, so since the captain plotted against him, he wouldn’t let the captain have peace either.

"Fire Turkey, how’s your preparation going?" Ye Luo asked into the base.

"Relax! It’s all ready!" Fire Turkey replied impatiently.

Clearly, it was engrossed in the pond, enjoying itself immensely. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Ye Luo knew Fire Turkey was quite reliable.

Soon, Ye Luo heard the sound of wings flapping through the air, but before he reacted, the Third Princess suddenly opened her eyes.

"Sir, the pests are coming, what should we do? The captain didn’t give us tools to capture the pests!"

Saying this, she stood up and anxiously watched outside.

Ye Luo looked at her curiously, "It’s alright, if these pests damage the Gold Silk Wood, the Emissary will surely punish me, and if I perish, wouldn’t you be free?"

The Third Princess blinked in surprise, as she hadn’t thought of such a thing.

Thinking it over, it made sense, but she internally wished Ye Luo no harm.

Suddenly, she felt conflicted.

Ye Luo smiled and didn’t wait for her answer, walking out directly.

Upon exiting the tent, he saw five or six pests fluttering their wings, heading straight for the Gold Silk Forest.

With just these few, Ye Luo could completely slaughter them!

However, he knew that countless eyes were watching him from the sky now, entirely different from last time. Last time, those pests attacked everywhere, and many regions suffered invasions, leaving little mood for watching the commotion.

Nevertheless, due to the events last time, no problems arose in his region, so he suspected quite a few prominent figures were observing him.

Additionally, the captain tried to bribe the Emissary with the Essence of the Spirit Pond, which was clearly from Ye Luo.

Therefore, this time, Ye Luo couldn’t reveal his true strength, which would bring significant trouble.

Of course, he hadn’t planned on handling these pests by such means.

Instead, he merely stared blankly at the pests, seemingly frozen.

Even the Third Princess thought he had been scared silly, yet she didn’t approach to remind him, as the pests were nearly upon the Gold Silk Wood, practically unstoppable. They awaited only the destruction of the Gold Silk Wood, considering the massive damage pests inflict upon it.

However, at that moment, a strange occurrence suddenly happened.

Those pests abruptly stopped, then scattered in a flurry, flying away!

What’s going on?

People around were wide-eyed, yet they were sure it had nothing to do with Ye Luo; he was merely scared stiff all along!

Could his guarded area be peculiar?

But wasn’t this area always the most pest-infested one?

Others didn’t have time to think further, as the pests regrouped and headed straight toward the captain’s area.

Naturally, others didn’t find this odd, as the captain’s plot against Ye Luo was widespread knowledge.

Therefore, the pests naturally went back to the captain’s side.

"Damn it, what’s going on, why didn’t the pests damage the Gold Silk Wood!" the captain immediately roared.

Taking such a huge risk, attempting to frame Ye Luo but unsuccessfully, how could he not be furious!

"Captain, maybe there’s something wrong with these pests, we should retract them. If the Secret Technique fails and they escape, we’ll be in big trouble!" a Guard said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, the captain could only nod. The only reason the pests obeyed, heading to Ye Luo’s area to destroy the Gold Silk Wood, was due to the Secret Technique.

"Something’s wrong, Captain!"

A Guard suddenly ran over, exclaiming.

"Damn it, can you talk properly, what’s wrong, where’s the problem!" the captain was also infuriated, already in a foul mood.
